Any other info? Where can i take advantage of this deal?!
We've been testing Windows 7 here at TechForce Computer Repairs since it was released as a BETA for testing purposes, and we're very happy with the direction the software has taken, after vista had some harsh criticism for it's problems early on, and it's need for high-end resources, Windows 7 has simplified things, allowing you advanced features but without the huge footprint on resources that vista needs, it's also fantastic on netbooks and portable laptops, as it will allow you to upgrade from XP to Windows 7 and enjoy the new features with almost no difference in speed and efficiency.
We highly recommend anyone who's a current student in the UK take advantage of this offer, the massive savings of 86% alone are worth it!
